Wedding Album and Card

I finished this Wedding Album for Diane. I followed Corenes Creations  instructions for her 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" Gatefold Album. Her wedding colors are Peach, White and Biscotti. I've pulled papers from several different collection to get my colors. (This is a photo heavy post, click on a photo for it get larger.) I'm not posting all the pages just a few so that you get the idea of the color scheme.

I used Kraft Cardstock for the base of this album. Front of the album has the Reminsce Romance Paper with a stamped image and die cut out. I've sprinkled some of the sequins across the front. Even though I have the ribbon tied at the bottom there are magnets on the right side to help hold it closed.

I used paper from DCWV - The Linen Closet Stack to cover the inside flaps, but did not cover the inside circle flap.

Each flap has a page insert with a  Kraft paper base and punched with the Martha Stewart Cherish border punch.
Page 1 fronts left and right sides:

Left side uses ColorBok: Mint Julep Collection and Amy Tangerine: Stitched Collection in the pocket.

Right side uses Stampin' Up- The Basics paper pad and Heidi Swapp - Magonila Jane "Georgian Charm" in the pocket.

Page 1 backs left and right sides:

 

Left side uses Anna Griffin - French Fancy Collection "Ivory" and Heidi Swapp - Magnolia Jane "Magnolia in the pocket

Right side uses Teresa Collins - Tell Your Story "Frames" and Up 6x6 paper pad - The Basics in the pocket

Page 2 fronts  left and right sides:

Left side uses DCWV - The Timeless Texture Stack and Bazzil Basics - Canvas Texture - Vanilla in the pocket.

Right side uses Heidi Swapp - Magonila Jane "Blushed" and Amy Tangerine: Stitched Collection in the pocket.

I have two pocket pages in this album.
Pocket page 1:

The base of the page uses pattern paper from the Websters Pages 12x12 paper pad - Love Story and the pocket uses DCWV - The Linen Closet Stack.

The flower and "together" tag are from the Websters Pages 12x12 paper pad - Love Story. I added a few heart sequins to the flower tag. The lacy circle is cut from more of the kraft paper and matted with Bazzil Basics - Canvas Texture - Vanilla.

The lacy circle is matted with ColorBok: Mint Julep Collection and the rectangles are matted with Bazzil Basics - Canvas Texture - Vanilla

Pocket Page 2:

On the base of the page I used Bazzil Basics - Canvas Texture - Vanilla and a unknown scrap for the pocket. 

The large tag is again from the Websters Pages 12x12 paper pad - Love Story. The lacy circle is matted with paper from Amy Tangerine: Stitched Collection. Since she is getting married in August I had a calendar scrap that I matted onto Bazzil Basics - Canvas Texture - Vanilla with a piece of the Stampin' Up seam binding behind it.

On each tag I used a pattern paper that she could journal on to one side and a pattern paper to other.

From the Simple Stories 6x6 paper pad - Posh Collection I cut apart some of the 2x2's for mini tags.

 

 Keeping with the larger tags I matted onto Kraft cardstock then used pattern paper on one side.

 

For the inside base and last pages I used both the front and back of Reminisce - Romantique Collection " Romance". I think it's one of my favorite papers. I just love the roses with the barn wood. 

Here is what the last set of pages with the pocket inserts.

The page insert on the left uses Heidi Swapp - Magnolia Jane "Miss Jane" and the right side uses DCWV - The Linen Closet Stack.

For her card the base is kraft cardstock and measures 8 1/2" x 7 5/8" closed. I again used the Reminisce - Romantique Collection " Romance".  I stamped used the Inkadinkado stamp that doesn't have name on the Bazzil Basics - Canvas Texture - Vanilla, clear embossed it and die cut it out. I used the same stamp for the envelope.

Since the card is going to the office for signatures I had to make a large one. The inside sentiment is from Inkadinkado Wedding\Marriage stamp set. I again used the dies to cut them out.

Back in April the 100 Pattern Paper Challenge was to use 25 sheets of Kraft paper. I think I have it covered with this album. I can't count the pattern paper as I placed an order for most of it. Also in June the Challenge was to use your punches. I used one punch through out this album - Martha Stewart's Cherish Border punch.

DIY Mini Album - a few more pages

I snapped a few more pages from my DIY Mini album.   I made an accordion pocket for right side. I have a folded gusset on the pocket part on the right side to give it a little bit more room.

I have various sizes of pages inside along with an envelope. I've stamped and colored them and used the Quote stack on a page.

I had a scrap piece of acetate that I made a pocket out of,

 

 

then made a quick page to put inside it.  I kind of messed up on this one, I had punched the holes for my binding at the beginning of the month and had to add a piece because of the acetate.

 

 

 

So I have a little bit of a gusset on the outside of the page, but it works. Besides only I know that I messed this one up (now you do too).

 

 Thanks for stopping by.

Folio Folder Album #2

Here is the last mini album I made using the July Counterfeit Kit - Summer Chuck Wagon.   The base pages are made from Kraft cardstock instead of the black.

The front of the album. 

The album opened up.

and the side flaps removed

Since I was limited on paper I made the album first then selected the papers before I cut them - the front flaps opened up.  I originally had a yellow distress polka dot pattern picked out for the tan distress paper and just did not like the way it looked with the other papers here. 

Inside of the outside flaps.

The album opened up with the inside flaps in place. 

The front and back of the right hand side flap.

The inside of the right hand flap. Love how this page turned out.

On the left side I did the folder again in the pocket.

Inside of the left side folder.

The inside of the album with the flaps removed from the side.  I again did card style tags in each of the pockets.

The back of the album. From the paper I had picked out for my mini albums in July Counterfeit Kit I only had 4 left over and made three mini albums that were paper intensive.  I tried to keep them gender neutral but I think this one is more for a girl then a guy.

Folio Folder - Small

Since I had so much left over from my Large Folio Folder I decided to make a small one from the July Counterfeit Kit - Summer Chuck Wagon. 

Here is the front of the album, the size is approximately 7"x 9" when it is folded up. 

The album with the outside flaps removed.

The outside flaps opened up.

The inside of the outside flaps. The "happy" paper is a duplicate from the first album. Because of the smaller size I did not add the folder the side with additional pockets instead I just added another flap.

The album opened up. As you can see I'm also using some of the left overs from the prior album, like the key paper.  The chandelier is part of one of the new 12x12 papers from the kit. All of the tags in the pockets are doubled up - folded like a card.

The outside of the flaps.

The inside of the flaps - here is where I used the most of the turquoise paper and the bottom of the chandelier is just above the owls head.

The progress report of the mini albums is that I had enough left over for another album.

Scrapbook Folio Folder

I'm using the DCWV Heirloom Stack from my July Counterfeit Kit - Summer Chuck Wagon for this Scrapbook folder. I tend to use a lot of designer paper when I make mini albums and I am surprised at how much I have let from the papers I pulled.   I have to warn you that is a really long post - I took pictures of each page and you can click on the picture to get a close up.

I made the album out of black cardstock then covered it in sections.  I did the front of the album towards the last.

Here is front opened up. The flaps on the right and left come out .

The flaps opened up.  The designer paper with the butterflies and beautiful as just cut down to fit the page. There is a pocket on the right and side of the right flap.

 

 

The back and front of the right and left side flaps. 

 

 

The main album without the flaps in the pocket. 

 

And here is the album opened up.  On the left side flap there is a pocket which holds another mini album of sorts. On the left is another flap page in the pocket and the center has pockets which holds some tags.

The inside with the right side flap removed.

The inside of the right side flap. There is another pocket on the right hand side.

The front and back of the right side flap.

The front of the left side mini with the front and back of the tags. I made a couple of them like cards for more room for photos.

The back of the left side mini with the front and back of the tags.

Inside of the mini

The tags for the inside of the mini.

And finally the back of the Scrapbook folio folder. Now I'm not so sure that I want to give it away!
I found the tutorial from SuperHappyScrapper here.  It was a lot of work but turned out great. 
 

I'm also surprised that I still have about 30 sheets the Heirloom Stack left, so that means I need to work on another one. 

Here is the left overs from the folio, I don't think it's quite enough to make another on it own, so I'll have to wait until the next one is done.

Thanks for stopping by.
